November, 2018 - In November 7-9, 2018, I was invited to attend Canadian Science Policy Conference and be part of a panel that discussed policy coordination issues in Canadian science policy. The panel included Dr. Creso Sa (moderator), Emina Veletanlic (PhD student from OISE/UT), Dr. David Moorman (senior advisor at CFI), Dr. Marc Fortin (Vice-President at NSERC) and me. The panel was informed by a White Paper that Emina Veletanlic and Dr. Creso Sa put together, partly informed by my paper published in the Journal of Science and Public Policy. Coordination is a long-standing problem where systemic barriers are inherent in the federal model through the existence of federal/provincial jurisdictions. It was suggested that Canada needs a strong national framework for innovation and a strategic plan and a more dedicated mechanisms to allow effective collaboration between policy and granting research agencies. We had a great turnout of people in the audience! Thanks to all involved!
